Animations

Tumult Hype’s keyframe-based animation system brings your content to life. Click “Record” and Tumult Hype watches your every move, automatically creating keyframes as needed. Or, if you’d prefer to be more hands-on, manually add, remove, and re-arrange keyframes to fine-tune your content.

Timelines

Timelines for the scene can be added and play when triggered by actions. This capability lets you add interactivity — mousing over an object could trigger a timeline to play which animates other objects in the scene.

Actions

Engage your viewers and trigger custom animations, scene transitions, animation control, or JavaScript functions in response to actions like mouse clicks, keystrokes, specific times, or documents events.

Scenes

Scenes are similar to slides in presentation software, and are a great way to simplify animation flow or separate content. Tumult Hype lets you make as many scenes as needed, and a variety of actions can switch between scenes using smooth transitions.
